Instead of donations, I correct their stuff every now and again when I see an error.

I'm not asking for any money so I feel like we are good.
That's the rub IMO. That website is written and edited/modified by folks just like here on TBN, so why not skip that and ask here.

...Professors stated they used wikipedia when looking at a new subject, but always read the reference links
For anything critical, or academic work that will result in a course grade, that's excellent advice. Go read the sources cited in the Wikipedia writeup, and draw your own conclusions. Otherwise 99% of the time the Wikipedia article is a sufficient overview of the topic.

I donate occasionally to Wikipedia and Internet Archive, and have never been spammed by either.

I use Wikipedia selectively. For general info on non-controversial topics, it is perfectly fine to quickly answer questions or get you up to speed at a high level on a topic that is new to you. Anything remotely political or that can be made political will inevitably have the hard left slant typical of media. So if I want the date Ronald Regan was born and died, sure, but anything about his policies or politics, no way.

I switched to AI instead of Wikipedia.
This guy warns that AI gets much of its 'knowledge' from posts on Reddit and Quora - posts made by non experts. Many of them liberals! :)


In effect, influencers who post a lot are having greater effect than the traditional verified sources.

Do you really not get it? For a resource like this to be most truly useful, it needs to be UNbiased, not biased in one direction or another.
